Antagonism of Tumoral Prolactin Receptor Promotes Autophagy-Related Cell Death
Summary Therapeutic upregulation of macroautophagy in cancer cells provides an alternative mechanism for cell death. Prolactin (PRL) and its receptor (PRLR) are considered attractive therapeutic targets because of their roles as growth factors in...

Comparative analysis of SIV-specific cellular immune responses induced by different vaccine platforms in rhesus macaques
Abstract To identify the most promising vaccine candidates for combinatorial strategies, we compared five SIV vaccine platforms including recombinant canary pox virus ALVAC, replication-competent adenovirus type 5 host range mutant RepAd, DNA,...

CB1 cannabinoid receptor in SF1-expressing neurons of the ventromedial hypothalamus determines metabolic responses to diet and leptin
Abstract Metabolic flexibility allows rapid adaptation to dietary change, however, little is known about the CNS mechanisms regulating this process. Neurons in the hypothalamic ventromedial nucleus (VMN) participate in energy balance and are the...

A method to analyze, sort, and retain viability of obligate anaerobic microorganisms from complex microbial communities
Abstract A high speed flow cytometric cell sorter was modified to maintain a controlled anaerobic environment. This technology enabled coupling of the precise high-throughput analytical and cell separation capabilities of flow cytometry to the...

A standardised faecal collection protocol for intestinal helminth egg counts in Asian elephants, Elephas maximus
Abstract The quantitative assessment of parasite infection is necessary to measure, manage and reduce infection risk in both wild and captive animal populations. Traditional faecal flotation methods which aim to quantify parasite burden, such as the ...

The reduction of vascular disease risk mutations contributes to longevity in the Chinese population
Abstract Aim Genetic factors play important roles in determining human lifespan. Although some “longevity genes” have been identified to be implicated in human longevity, many disease-associated variants were also observed in the...

The AQP2 mutation V71M causes nephrogenic diabetes insipidus in humans but does not impair the function of a bacterial homolog
Abstract Several point mutations have been identified in human aquaporins, but their effects on the function of the respective aquaporins are mostly enigmatic. We analyzed the impact of the aquaporin 2 mutation V71M, which causes nephrogenic...
